ELBERT T. BALDIVIN AND JOHN H. STIMPSON, OF GILMAN, COLORADO.

COMBINED ROLLING-PIN AND CAKE CUTTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,311, dated March 17, 1891.

Application filed January 16 1891. Serial No. 378,021. (No model.)

7 To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELBERT T. BALDWIN and JOHN H. STIMPSON, citizens of the United States, residing at Gilrnan, in the county of Eagle and State of Colorado, have invented a new and useful Combined Rolling-Pin and Cake-Cutter, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to kitchen utensils, and is, more properly speaking, a combined rollingpin and cake-cutter, the object of the invention being to effect improvements in devices of this character.

To this end the invention consists in the details of construction hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of this device when used as a rolling-pin. Fig. 2 shows in bottom perspective View the cake-cutter and the cake-perforator removed. Fig. 3 is an enlarged central longitudinal section of this entire device.

Referring to the said drawings, the letter Y designates a cylinder having interior annular bracing rings or ribs A and having one closed end E, which is, however, provided with a central opening 0, surrounded by a small collar K, extending toward the interior of the cylinder.

The letter C designates a cake-cutter which forms the other end of the cylinder, into which it is removably inserted, as shown in Fig. 3, and the center of this cutter is provided with an opening 0, also provided with a collar K, the same as the closed end E.

The letter T designates a tubular shaft having one closed end provided with a ring R, by means of which the entire device can be suspended, as from a hook in the closet, and the diameter of this shaft is such that it iits loosely in the openings 0, while its length is sufficiently greater than that of the cylinder Y to provide handles II at each end thereof, as shown. Upon the exterior of this shaft at equal and proper distances from its ends are rigidly mounted the projections J, which extend completely around the shaft, as shown. In the open end of the shaft is removably i11- end of the cylinder, when its flange K will I strike the other projection J. The friction of the cakecutt-er within the cylinder will hold the parts in place and prevent their dislocation. The perforator P is also held by friction in the open end of the shaft.

The uses of the cake cutter and perforator are too well known to any pastry-cook to require elaboration here.

In using the device as a rolling-pin the operator grasps the handles H and moves the cylinder over the dough, when the cylinder will revolve, but the handles will not. The annular ribs A on the interior of the cylinder are for the purpose of preventing its becoming warped 01' bent out of shape.

WVhat is claimed as' new is- 1. The herein-described rolling-pin, the

same comprising a cylinder having one open and one closed end provided with a central perforation, a cake-cutter removably inserted in said open end and also provided with a central perforation, and a shaft journaled in said perforations, as set forth.

2. The herein-described rolling-pin, the same comprising a cylinder having one open end, a closed end thereto having a central perforation surrounded bya collar extending toward the interior of the cylinder, a cakecutter removably inserted in said open end and also provided with a central perforation surrounded by an inwardly-extending collar, and a shaft j ournaled in said collars, extending entirely through the cylinder, and provided with annular projections turning against the inner ends of the collars, as set forth.

3. The herein-described rolling-pin, the same comprising a cylinder having one open and one closed end provided with a central perforation, a cake-cutter removably inserted in said open end and also provided with a central perforation,atnbular shaft journaled in said perforations and extending through the cylinder, annular projections upon said 5 shaft just inside the perforations, one end of the shaft being closed and provided with a supporting-ring, anda cake-perforator removably inserted in the other end of said shaft and provided with a handle, as herein- IO before set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto afiixed our signatures in presence of two Witnesses.

ELBERT T. BALDWIN. JOHN H. STIMPSON.
